Since the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, but I need to bridge the gap until then. Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them. Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $450 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 • Rent top-up: $210 I hope life is good to you.

              Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kisumu.

              • Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal. Blessings
